==Why this matters==
<b>To unlock the next wave of openness and opportunity on the Internet, It’s urgent that we need the public to understand get citizens -- and be ready to address the biggest challenges companies and opportunities governments that face serve them-- thinking about the Internet todaylink between a healthy internet and a healthy society.</b>
Mozilla, our community and our allies need to be clear, compelling voices for the open Internet. Our goal is to work together to make open Internet issues mainstream issues, globally.
===Mozilla's Issues Agenda===
<ul>
Mozilla and our allies will bring these issues front-and-centre by being an increasingly visible and respected public voice, weaving these issues throughout our leadership and advocacy work, and by building technologies that take a stance.

Mozilla offers these leaders a community, a platform and resources to support and advance their work to protect the open Internet. <b>The Mozilla Leadership Network is</b> a global network of diverse leaders who will ensure the next wave of access, inclusion and opportunity online. Working towards a common goal, Mozilla Leadership Network leaders take action together to:<ul><li>Increase their influence on issues like privacy, digital inclusion and web literacy, <li>Share and continuously improve their skills and experience as leaders, and<li>Advance open practices to shape the web in new ways.</ul> Ultimately, we envision these leaders being in positions in society that let them layer ‘open’ into institutions, products and policies around the world. ===At the heart of the Mozilla Leadership Network: thematic hubs===Mozilla Leadership Network ‘hubs’ are communities of people with diverse expertise, who are helping others build the capacity to advance the open Internet in their field or topic of interest. This builds on what we already have: Mozilla has been building programs and communities like this in education, science, journalism and public policy for over five years. Moving forward, these efforts will evolve into thematic hubs that are part of a cohesive Mozilla Leadership Network. As of June 2016, Mozilla Leadership Network hubs include:<ul><li><b>Learning.</b> Educators and librarians committed to transforming learning in our digital age.<li><b>Science.</b> Researchers and data scientists committed to making research and practice more open.<li><b>Internet Policy & Advocacy.</b> Individuals and organizations focused on open Internet issues.<li><b>Women & Web Literacy.</b> Community organizers and senior leaders creating opportunities for women and girls to develop web literacy skills.<li><b>Internet of Things.</b> Hackers and designers creating provocative prototypes for what an open Internet of Things could and should be.</ul> ===How we work===The Mozilla Leadership Network pursues our goals through five key initiatives, which are reflected in each hub: [[File:2020MLNSMALL.png]] ===[[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KLFDzyr1jC-19TH7sI6WEBSYmo2KUyzxHzgb0j_KaUg/edit#heading=h.msbh78rtb90x MORE about how MLN works, who we are and how we evaluate impact]]=== ==How we'll do it: Rally citizens through the Mozilla Advocacy Engine== As part of a broad global movement, Mozilla will cultivate a global force of tens of millions of people will take action to protect the open Internet. To grow and protect the promise of the Internet, we need a global movement of bold, informed citizens working together to build and protect the next wave of openness and opportunity online. That’s why Mozilla will work with allies to cultivate a global force of tens of millions of people who are aware of the issues that are vital to the future of the open Internet, and prepared to take action in support of the rights of citizens of the web. Over the next three years, Mozilla, our community and our allies will become the most effective advocates for the health of the open Internet. ===At the heart of Mozilla’s Advocacy Engine: a focus on depth & scale=== Given the diversity of our issues—ranging from copyright policy reform in the European Union to digital inclusion—there is no single approach that can work in every case, everywhere in the world. That’s why we think of Mozilla’s advocacy approach as one that can incorporate [hhttps://drive.google.com/open?id=0B87EwT3UvJkMU3RrUFFxc1VrYk0 both scale to depth and depth to scale]. In this way, Mozilla’s advocacy work has flexibility to focus on a variety of issues. This approach also enables Mozilla to simultaneously build our capacity to mobilize millions of people quickly and grow our organizing power in local communities, which will make it possible to win on our issues in the long-term. We also push ourselves to be proactive—setting the topic and tone of the conversation, and promoting solutions—as well as reactive to current events or undesirable policies when necessary. ===How we work===[[File:2020advocacySMALL.png]] ===[[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KLFDzyr1jC-19TH7sI6WEBSYmo2KUyzxHzgb0j_KaUg/edit#heading=h.1amqf6nyi5cp MORE about how advocacy works, who we are and how we evaluate impact]]===

===Phase 0: committing to a plan===

:''"What’s become increasingly clear over the last month or so is: a) [leadership development] has become one of our core strengths and b) it is one of the biggest places we could have impact going forward. This has lead us to the conclusion that leadership development should be one of the core elements of our overall learning strategy."''
'''Aug -- we strike core working groups to flesh out our strategy''': Leadership and Advocacy. Plus an “Impact” working group to help set KPIs and think about measurement and evaluation.'''
'''Sep Sept — setting a broader agenda'''. We decide to expand our scope beyond “web literacy” to include the concept of setting a wider agenda. We make the decision to rename from "Mozilla Learning Network" to "Mozilla Leadership Network."
